Welcome! This is the NEW web home of Quit Binge Eating and the Progress Not Perfection Podcast. I’m trying to clean things up and get caught up. Been super busy since late 2015 with business and family but now I can start to focus on what I love, recording and producing MY OWN podcasts and content and connecting with you.

For instance, for those of you who have enjoyed the “Before I Eat” app and book, I have something SUPER BIG coming that is totally FREE.

Alen Standish announces the Inner Effort Podcast and describes the future of Progress Not Perfection.

Each episode of Inner Effort is an intimate discussion with a courageous guest about the details and mental hurdles of their own personal struggles (past or present, big or small) and the unseen Inner Efforts (e.g. self-coaching techniques, coping tactics, mental tools, resources, etc.) they used to motivate and help themselves during a typical day and through difficult moments.

You can find the Inner Effort podcast on iTunes or at www.innereffort.com. There are already several new episodes of Inner Effort available that you can listen to right now with new episodes coming each week! Make sure you subscribe to the new podcast to continue the conversation!
